Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), raided a lounge in Osogbo, the Osun State capital where a night party organised for illicit substance abuse was planned to be held on Saturday, November 25, and arrested some of the organisers who were found with drug exhibits.
The anti-narcotics agency noted that the raid followed credible intelligence that some persons were going to hold a night party tagged, “Unholy Alliance…for Stoners and Drunkards,” where different types of illicit substances were going to be sold and consumed by patrons.
The spokesperson for the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, revealed in a statement on Sunday.
Babafemi said, “Soon after the organisers began to gather at Berrymist Lounge located at the Ofatedo area of Osogbo to start the party, the NDLEA operatives swooped on them, arrested them and recovered illicit substances of abuse and drug paraphernalia from them.
“Those arrested include: Ikotu Omolayo, 25; Fola Olabode, 30, and Akorede Adunni Ajibola, 22. The management of the Lounge has also been invited for further investigation. This comes on the heels of an earlier raid on Thursday, November 23, at Area 5 forest reserve, Ile-Ife where operatives recovered 156kgs of cannabis sativa.”
